By Jerry Rohde. In 1850 the area east of Arcata Bay was a tapestry of wetlands and sloughs, fringed by conifer-clad hillsides. Canoe channels and trails connected a string of Wiyot villages that nearly encircled the bay.
Then white settlers arrived, establishing towns at Eureka and Union (Arcata). With them came profound changes in the landscape.
Recently a new period of change has begun. Global warming has created sea level rise, and Humboldt Bay will be the most severely affected area on the California coast. We need to recognize that preparing for the bay’s future requires gaining knowledge of the bay’s past. This book will help start that process.
